In September, summer residents and gardeners still have a lot of work to do. Auspicious days for gardeners in September - calendar Garden work, plant care activities

For summer residents, September is one of the most troublesome months of the year, the time for harvesting and preparing for winter. In September, there is no less work in the garden and garden than in May: you need to collect vegetables and put them in storage, cultivate the soil in the garden and greenhouse, and fertilize all crops. The gardener's calendar for September will help you plan your work correctly and not miss anything.

It is no secret that many summer residents use the lunar calendar to plan work in the garden and garden. He will tell you on which days it is better to harvest and lay for long-term storage, and when it is better to deal with the destruction of pests or fertilization.

garden beds

In September, there is a lot of work in the garden - you need to harvest, lay the tops and plant residues in the compost pit, cultivate the soil and apply fertilizer. Also in September for the next season, winter crops are sown and planted.

Harvest

In early September, in the middle lane, they continue and complete the harvesting of medium and late varieties of potatoes. The tubers are dried in the air, planting material is selected, and then laid in the cellar for storage in boxes, boxes or wicker baskets.

In the second and third decades, they start harvesting root crops - carrots, beets, swedes and turnips. Winter radish and daikon can be left until the beginning of October - this way they will gain a maximum of essential oils and nutrients.

Root crops are freed from the ground, sorted. Carrots intended for storage are dried in air, shaken off, cut off from the side of the tops by 5-10 mm, and then placed in perforated bags or boxes. In beets and rutabaga, the tops are cut 10-15 mm higher than the root crop, and placed in boxes for storage.

In September, the last crop of pumpkins, zucchini and squash is harvested - they are cut with a sharp knife at the point where the stalk is attached to the stem. Fully ripened fruits are removed in a dry cellar or barn with a temperature not higher than + 10 ° C. Small, unripe and damaged are allowed for processing.

The last greens are cut off for freezing and drying, leaf and head lettuce are removed. At the end of the month, at the first frost, leeks, celery and parsnips, root parsley are harvested.

Mid-season varieties of cauliflower and cabbage are harvested in mid-September. Late varieties are left until frost in late September or early October.

After harvesting, you need to clean the beds from tops and weeds. If no pests and diseases were noticed on them, all plant residues are sent to the compost pit, pouring urea or manure in layers. Sick vegetation is piled up and burned.

Note! When harvesting root crops and cabbage, all roots should be removed - pests typical of these crops hibernate in them.

tillage

Autumn tillage in the garden includes digging or loosening with the application of organic or mineral fertilizers and conditioners that improve soil structure - compost, sawdust, straw cutting. Mulch from the beds often acts as a soil conditioner.

Mulch from the beds is a good soil conditioner

To dig or not to dig beds in the fall? Gardeners often ask this question. Proponents of organic farming argue that digging disrupts soil structure and inhibits the activity of beneficial microorganisms. Summer residents who adhere to traditional methods consider autumn digging mandatory.

Most agronomists agree: heavy clay soils become looser after digging, and deep application of organic matter improves their structure. Therefore, it is better to dig clays and loams in the fall on a spade bayonet. At the same time, clods do not need to be broken - they retain moisture better, besides, they freeze faster, as a result of which the larvae of insect pests die.

It is enough to loosen loose sandy soils to a depth of 5-8 cm using a flat cutter. Fertilizers close up in them during loosening. To avoid drying out of sandy soils in winter, they are mulched or sown with green manure.

Fertilizer application rates for garden crops per 1 m 2 of ridge area:

• horse manure or mullein - 1/3 bucket;
• wood ash - half a glass;
• regular superphosphate - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• potash fertilizer - 1 tbsp. the spoon.

Note! On acidic soils, it is also necessary to add a deoxidizer during digging - slaked lime, dolomite flour or chalk.

Planting winter vegetables

At the end of September, in most regions of the middle zone, the temperature begins to drop to zero. At this time, winter garlic is planted on pre-dug and fertilized beds. For planting, dense teeth are selected without damage.

They are planted to a depth of about 5 cm with a distance between the teeth of 10 cm, between rows - 20 cm. They are sprinkled with dry soil on top, after freezing its upper layer, they are mulched with sawdust or humus. Planting garlic at the end of September will allow the root system to develop without throwing out the leaves.

In addition to garlic, cold-resistant vegetables and herbs with a long germination period can be planted before winter: carrots, parsley, dill, celery, green salads. They are sown after the temperature drops to zero degrees in dry land. Sowing is done thicker, and the seeds are planted deeper than in spring. Top mulch with dry peat or humus.

Note! On the beds before winter, you can also leave two-year-old spicy herbs - parsley and cumin. Dill with seeds, not harvested on time, will propagate by self-sowing and will sprout much earlier than sown in the garden.

Laying warm beds

To obtain an early harvest, use warm beds. For their device, it is necessary to dig a trench about half a meter deep in the ground or assemble a box from boards, slate or other improvised materials.

Warm beds - varieties

The bottom of the trench or box is filled with wood debris and branches cut during the autumn pruning of shrubs. Healthy tops, annual weeds without seeds, mulch are laid on them. It is well watered with a warm solution of an EM preparation, for example, Baikal-M. They cover the organic layers with newspapers or cardboard, cover them with compost, and lay the removed garden soil on top.

In September, it is still warm enough for the processes of decomposition of organic residues and soil structuring to begin inside the warm beds. To maintain the temperature, a warm bed is covered with a film or covering material and left until spring.

Note! In addition to getting early vegetables and greens, a warm bed performs another useful function - it allows you to get rid of a large amount of branches, tops and weeds.

Greenhouses and greenhouses

In September, heat-loving plants give their last harvest, after which summer greenhouses and hotbeds need to be cleaned, disinfected and preserved for the winter.

Step 1. Unripe tomatoes and peppers are removed at the stage of technical ripeness and sent for ripening, laid in boxes in one layer. Cucumbers of late varieties are used for pickling or salads.

Step 2 After removing the fruits, the bushes are untied from the supports and dug up or pulled out. All tops are removed from the greenhouse and taken out of the garden. If the tops are affected by fungal or bacterial rot, they are burned. Healthy haulm can be composted, but it can only be used after complete decay for fertilizing and mulching unrelated crops.

Step 3 Remove all weeds and mulch from the greenhouse, put them in compost along with healthy tops, or burn them. They remove supports, garters, trellises - they can be disinfected with boiling water or reused the next year or also burned.

Step 4 They dig or loosen the soil, apply fertilizers, and, if necessary, update the top layer of soil 15 cm thick.

Step 5 Wash the walls of the greenhouse with water or soapy water on both sides. This measure is necessary not only to remove dirt and maintain the transparency of the coating, but also to remove bacteria, fungi and pests.

Step 6 If necessary, the greenhouse is disinfected with one solution of copper sulphate, Bordeaux mixture or bleach. In some cases, the use is recommended.

Step 7 If necessary, carry out repairs to the greenhouse and strengthen its structure to protect it from snow. After the first frost, the windows are opened to freeze the soil and kill the larvae and adults of pests (aphids, whiteflies and spider mites).

Note! In insulated greenhouses, you can continue growing tomatoes and cucumbers or convert them to greens, flowers or mushrooms.

garden work in september

In the orchard, work is in full swing throughout September. It is necessary to harvest late fruits and berries, process them and store them. Also in September, digging and loosening of trunk circles, pruning of shrubs and treating them from pests begin. Fertilizers are applied under fruit and berry crops. Flowers and ornamental shrubs are being prepared for wintering.

Harvest

September is the time of harvesting late autumn varieties of apples and pears. Winter varieties are harvested in late September or early October before the onset of frost. Fruits are removed after full ripening, when they are easily separated from the branches.

Harvest fruits in dry weather. They start from the lower branches, gradually moving to the upper ones, trying not to break them off. Apples and pears with damage, non-standard size and shape are immediately used for processing - compotes, juices, jam or drying. Large, well-ripened fruits are stored in boxes with sawdust in one layer and put into the cellar.

From berry crops, remontant varieties of raspberries, blackberries and strawberries bear fruit in September. Berries are removed from them as they ripen and used for food, jam or freezing.

Note! Carrion apples and pears are removed regularly. It is taken out of the garden and buried.

Tree and Shrub Care in September

In order to restore strength for a new crop, all fruit trees and shrubs need watering, fertilizer, anti-aging pruning and disease prevention in the fall. In addition, they need to be prepared for the winter: tied and bent down, mulched or covered.

Step 1. Trunk circles of trees and the soil under the bushes are freed from debris, weeds, old and diseased branches. Carry out rejuvenating pruning of shrubs and raspberries. Tree pruning in September can only be done in the northern regions with early winter, when active sap flow stops.

Step 2 In dry weather, the ground under trees and shrubs is well shed from a hose - 20-25 liters per 1 m 2. Watering is necessary for good absorption of fertilizers by the absorbing roots, as well as for the plants to leave before winter with a normal water balance (this reduces the risk of branches freezing).

Step 3 Trunk circles of trees are dug up or loosened to a depth of 5-20 cm (depending on the age and depth of the roots). At the same time, fertilizers are applied along the crown perimeter in the doses indicated in Table 1.

Table 1. Fertilization rates for fruit trees: apples, pears, plums, cherries.

Step 4 The ground under the bushes and raspberries is also loosened, excess root shoots are removed, and fertilizers are applied in the doses indicated in Table 2.

Table 2. Fertilizer application rates for fruit and berry bushes.

Step 5 Strawberries and wild strawberries are fertilized in early September with infusion of mullein 1:15 or bird droppings 1:30 with the addition of 0.5 cups of ash for each bucket of infusion. Irrigation rate - 0.5 liters for each bush. In dry weather, fertilizer is applied after watering.

Step 5 Trunk circles and beds are mulched with a thick layer of compost, a mixture of sawdust and peat, or mowed grass. The thickness of the layer depends on the depth of the roots. Young trees need 10-15 cm, old trees need 5-10 cm.

Note! Raspberries are tied and bent down immediately after pruning, digging and top dressing. Later, her shoots will become stiff and may break.

Pest control

In the third decade of the month before the onset of cold weather, bushes and trees are treated for pests.

Step 1. Remove diseased branches with insect nests, twisted or deformed leaves, cobwebs, if this was not done when pruning. Harvesting belts are removed from the trees. Burn the affected branches and leaves, collected pests and nests.

Step 2 Make a solution of urea - 0.5 kg per bucket of water. Spray all shrubs and fruit trees with this solution until completely wet. They also cultivate the land under them.

Step 3 Examine the bark of trees. When lichens and moss are found, it is treated with a strong solution of iron sulfate - 30-50 g per 1 liter of water. Lichens that have dried after treatment are brushed off.

Tinder mushrooms are cut, the trunk is cleaned to fresh wood, and the wounds are covered with garden pitch.

When peeling off the bark, it is carefully cut off with a garden knife. Pests found under the bark are removed, and the cut site is treated with a solution of copper or iron sulphate.

Step 4 Tree trunks and lower skeletal branches are whitewashed with lime with the addition of wood glue or special paint. This will help the trees avoid burns in the spring when the trunks are not covered with leaves.

October is the middle of autumn, so many gardeners are already looking forward to the end of the season and a break from summer worries. But it’s too early to relax: in October there are still a lot of things to do in the garden and the garden, and their timely completion will help you keep the plants healthy. More details - in.

Planting seedlings

In September, pits are prepared for planting young fruit trees and bushes, seedlings are bought and prepared for planting.

Step 1. Planting holes are dug at the beginning of the month. The soil is selected to a depth of 0.4-0.5 m and set aside, it can be laid on a film. A mixture of manure and compost is poured onto the bottom, covered with a slide of earth taken from the fertile layer. Watered and left until planting for 2-3 weeks. During this time, the soil will be well compacted.

Step 2 Purchased seedlings with an open root system are taken out of the package, soaked in a solution of a root formation stimulator, and then dipped in a mash of clay and water and in dry soil. So the roots will quickly restore suction functions.

Step 3 The seedling is placed in a pit, the roots are spread along the mound and sprinkled with soil taken out of the pit. Water well, compact the earth around the trunk and mulch the trunk circle with compost.

Note! The size of the planting hole depends on the type and age of the seedlings.

Works in the flower garden

Flowerbeds in September still play with bright colors - asters, gladioli, zinnias, petunias bloom. But there is work for the gardener in the flower garden.

Step 1. Cut off all faded and drooping perennials - delphiniums, lilies, irises, daylilies, bluebells and phloxes. Weed the flower beds, renew the mulch and apply a complex fertilizer with a low nitrogen content under them.

Step 2 In September, bulbous flowers are planted - lilies, daffodils, tulips, crocuses, and lilies of the valley. The flowerbeds under them are dug up or loosened, potash and phosphorus fertilizers or ash are applied. The depth of planting bulbs depends on the variety and species.

Step 3 At the end of the month, before the onset of frosts, gladiolus bulbs are dug up. They are washed, treated with manganese and the stem is cut at a height of about 5-10 cm, laid to dry. After drying, the children are robbed, the bulbs are sorted and stored for storage.

Step 4 In the northern regions, in the third decade of September, dahlia tubers can also be dug up. The stems are cut at a height of 15-20 cm, the tubers are washed and disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate, covered with wet sawdust and stored in the cellar.

Preparing dahlia tubers for storage

Step 5 In September, you can collect seeds from garden annuals - marigolds, calendula, zinnias, asters. Faded flower heads are dried, laid out on paper, seeds are selected and cleaned of debris.

Note! Annual flowers with hard tall stems can not be removed for the winter - they contribute to snow retention in flower beds. They are removed in the spring when tilling the soil.

The gardener's lunar calendar for September 2018 provides useful recommendations that can help gardeners and gardeners plan their work in the garden, vegetable garden, greenhouses and flower beds correctly.

Focusing on favorable days for sowing and harvesting, summer residents and owners of household plots can choose the right time to carry out these activities. Long-term observations have established that certain phases of the moon affect plants in different ways during planting or harvesting periods.

Start of autumn work

September is the first month of autumn, which approaches gradually, it is still quite warm in the south, and it has already become noticeably colder in the northern regions, the days have become shorter, the thermometer scale is falling lower and lower. Mass harvesting of fruits and vegetables begins everywhere in orchards and orchards. The early fruits have already been harvested, processed into winter preparations and put away for storage. It's time to start the autumn harvest of fruits and vegetables.

moon in september

Lunar phases, namely: growing, full, new moon and waning, tend to affect plants. Harvesting or sowing and planting crops is necessary at certain phases, it depends on:

• duration of storage of vegetables and fruits in winter;
• favorable development of planted plants;
• preservation and increase in yield;
• improving the immunity of seedlings to diseases.

The lunar calendar recommends planting and sowing root crops in the waning phase, and crops whose value lies in the fruits that form above the surface of the earth - in the days of the growing moon. The table shows on which days of September the Moon goes through all the phases, as well as the signs of the Zodiac corresponding to these phases, their influence on the yield, growth and development of different parts of the plant.

Need to know!

It has been scientifically proven that the Moon influences the terrestrial water elements, the tides of the seas and oceans. All plants consist of at least 50% water, so the lunar effect is reflected in their growth and development.

Harvesting

Harvesting is best on Fruit Days. Fruits and vegetables harvested during these periods remain fresh longer, their taste and presentation are much better, and during transportation they are more resistant to mechanical damage. In early September, ripened vegetables are harvested from the gardens: potatoes, carrots, beets. Favorable days for collecting root crops in September 2018 will be: 1-7 and 27-30. The phase of the moon, during this period, is waning, which means that the life-giving juices of the plant are concentrated in the roots. Harvesting root crops during the waning moon guarantees their improved taste, long shelf life.

In greenhouses, the second crop of cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, sweet and hot peppers is harvested. These vegetables should be harvested during the growing phase of the moon, when all the nutrients are activated at the top of the plant. The most favorable days for this are from September 11 to 23. It is worth paying attention to the signs of the Zodiac, from September 15 to September 17, the Moon is under the influence of Sagittarius (days of the Fruit), that is, harvesting these days is the most favorable.

Seeding and planting

In September, you can plant various vegetables before winter or for later harvests. Root crops are sown and planted in the waning phase of the moon, these are: parsnips, radishes, garlic, onions. Favorable days for their landing will be September 1, 27 and 28. The waning moon is under the influence of Taurus (days of the Root), so root crops develop rapidly even in the face of the upcoming cold snap.

In the growing Moon phase, you can sow or plant: peas, mustard leaf, watercress, lettuce, parsley and arugula. These vegetables and herbs will re-harvest if planted from September 11 to 14 or on September 18-19 and 23. The moon is under the constellation of Pisces (leaf days) and Capricorn (root days), this favors the faster development of vegetable crops and ensures a significant harvest. Greens planted in September will give young and juicy sprouts before the onset of cold weather, which can be stored fresh for a long time.

In September, seedlings of fruit and berry bushes, apple trees, pears, and peach trees begin to be planted. The beds with strawberries and strawberries are renewed, old bushes (more than 3 years old) are removed, new ones are planted, prepared from mustaches, or grown from seeds. It is necessary to plant young trees and berry seedlings in the phase of the growing Moon, on the days of the Fruit and the Leaf, in September such favorable days will be 11-23, and the most suitable for fruit bushes are September 11-14 and 18-19.

Perennial flowers are sown on flower beds and flowerbeds in September, propagated by dividing the bush and planted in the ground: primrose, geyhera, peonies, phlox and other floral ornamental plants. Flowers growing in one place for more than 4-5 years are transplanted to other beds and flower beds. Tuberous and bulbous crops: tulips, hyacinths, crocuses, gladioli are dug up, cut off the entire upper part and put away for winter storage in a cellar or insulated sheds. Bulbs and tubers will be stored longer and not rot if they are dug up in the waning phase of the Moon on the days of the Flower and the Root. In September, such days will be 1-4, 27-30.

Need to know!

It is necessary to dig up flowers with a tuberous and bulbous root system in the waning phase of the moon, when the concentration of plant life forces manifests itself in the underground part. This favorably affects the safety of the roots, their complete drying does not occur, and in the future they all give excellent and healthy shoots.

When not to work with plants

The transition from the growing phase of the moon to the waning, and vice versa, occurs after the Full Moon and New Moon. On these days, as well as on the previous and subsequent days, the Lunar calendar does not recommend any work with plants. At this time, there is a change in the movement of nutrient juices inside the plants, they weaken and become defenseless against mechanical damage, diseases and pest attacks.

Bad days in September 2018:

These days, you need to leave all the plants alone, even cancel watering and processing, fertilizing and weeding, you can do general work in the garden and vegetable garden.

General business works

In September, pruning of fruit trees, reproduction and planting of berry bushes begin. Ripe vegetables and herbs are harvested in greenhouses. All plants prepare for winter:

• dried two-year-old shoots of raspberries and blackberries are cut out, on which berries ripened this year, the bushes are thinned out, removing weak and diseased growths;
• produce preventive treatment of shrubs from diseases and pests;
• in flowerbeds with perennial flowers, dried peduncles and branches are removed, the upper part of the flowers is cut off, leaving only 15-20 centimeters above the ground;
• annual flower beds are completely cleared of vegetation, they dig up the ground, making autumn fertilizers for flower plants;
• beds with strawberries and strawberries are loosened, also adding fertilizer mixtures, if necessary, cover the plantings with film or other materials;
• in seasonal greenhouses they dig up the ground, disinfect the soil and fertilize;
• Planned sanitary pruning of fruit trees begins.

According to the lunar calendar, such work can be done at any time, regardless of the lunar phases, but not on forbidden days.

After cutting trees and bushes, cleaning greenhouses, plant waste remains that must be disposed of:

• dry leaves, thin twigs and other soft waste are crushed and placed in a compost heap;
• large cut branches are sawn, cleaned in woodsheds, and later used to fire stoves in a house or bathhouse;
• parts of plants affected by pests or diseases are burned, the ashes can be used as fertilizer.

Need to know!

Spores of fungal diseases, as well as pupae and eggs of pests, can overwinter in curled leaves, under the bark of trees. They are quite resistant to winter cold, so it is necessary to remove and burn all suspicious plant debris.

Pests and diseases

Preventive treatment of the garden and garden from pests and diseases begins with spraying shrubs prepared for winter, disinfecting vacated land and other work:

• the hollows of old trees are cleaned out, treated with copper sulphate and poured with cement mortar;
• they clean the trunks and skeletal branches of trees from dead bark, scrape them on the litter around the trees, then burn them;
• all the fruits remaining on the branches are removed, the foliage is shaken off the trees, the ground is cleaned around the trunks, raking up the remnants in which pests and spores of fungal diseases may remain;
• after harvesting plums, gooseberries and currants, the plants are treated with 10% karbofos (from sawfly), slurry (from powdery mildew) or Bordeaux liquid;
• garlic, onions and all small-bulb flowers are subjected to preventive treatment before planting for the winter, keeping the planting material in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 30-40 minutes.

The lunar calendar for September 2018 recommends carrying out such work on the days of the waning moon, under the signs of the zodiac marked as infertile or barren. Such days in September will be 2-7, 30 numbers. Gardeners do not always have the opportunity to carry out plant prophylaxis on these days, but we have indicated the most optimal dates. These works can be carried out in the growing phase of the moon, and even on forbidden days, if they relate to the cleansing of the garden.

Houseplants

Care, transplantation and reproduction of greenhouse and indoor plants is carried out on the same days as similar work in the garden. The most auspicious days are the days of the Leaf and the Flower, but the forbidden days remain the same, because the Moon not only influences the plants in the open air, but its impulses penetrate through walls and windows, affecting the plants in the house.

Conclusion

Sowing and other work in the garden and vegetable garden is carried out on favorable days determined by the lunar calendar, but it is worth noting that all the recommendations and advice of the calendar are controversial and need to be tested on real experience, which gardeners conduct on their own. The influence of lunar impulses can increase or decrease for various reasons: climatic conditions in the regions, from natural weather disasters. Try, experiment, keep your personal lunar calendars, marking the results and results in them.

The lunar calendar of the gardener-gardener was compiled in antiquity through long-term observations of the influence of the moon on all living things, including garden plants.

First of all, the different phases of the moon have different effects on the growth and development of plants. It has long been noticed that the days of new moons and full moons are not suitable for landing and transfer work. On the full moon, most of the juices are in the upper part of the plant, in the stem and fruits, and on the new moon, on the contrary, in its underground part - tubers and roots. Seeds that fall into the ground during the waxing Moon are programmed to grow more actively upwards and develop above the ground, and those that were planted during the waning Moon have the opposite tendency to develop downward underground. Therefore, plants whose fruits are above the ground, gardeners and gardeners need to sow and plant with the growing moon. And all root crops - with a waning moon.

With this in mind, the Lunar calendar of the gardener has been compiled, which will help you grow a wonderful crop. The 2018 gardener's lunar sowing calendar will allow you to always be aware of what the phase of the moon is now without the need for visual observation.

In the Lunar sowing calendar for September 2018, all favorable days for planting seedlings and vegetable crops are marked. There is a convenient calendar in which the new moon, full moon and the days of the growing and waning moon are marked.

Lunar seed calendar for September 2018

The phases of the moon in September 2018 affect both the roots of plants and the aerial part. Planting plants on a certain lunar day can accelerate their emergence, growth, and affect the fruits of future plants.

On some days, it is necessary to refrain from planting, weeding and loosening the roots of plants and flowers, because. this can lead to plant damage, growth retardation, decay or, for example, disrupt their energy balance. This affects not only the work with the land itself, but also other work in the garden and the garden.

If you want to reap a good harvest, then you obviously need everything to be done in September 2018, according to the lunar sowing calendar.

If you plant a plant, especially perennials, trees that are supposed to have a long lifespan, seedlings, then this should be done only on the growing moon, preferably before the full moon. On the day of the new moon, this should not be done.

Plants planted before the full moon will be tall. Just as all deeds aimed at development should be started on the waxing moon, so plants, especially perennials, should be given new life in a new place on the waxing moon.

Auspicious days for working in the garden according to the lunar calendar 2018:

●Pick up: 1, 3, 10-11, 17-19, 27-28
●Do not plant: 2, 6-7, 9, 20-21, 22-25
●Pruning trees and shrubs: 1, 6–7, 15–16, 26–28
●Can't crop: 2, 9, 25
●Feeding trees and shrubs: 15–16, 23–24, 26
●Do not fertilize: 2, 9, 25
●Moisture recharge watering can be done on any day except: 2–3, 9, 28
●Processing from pests of fruit trees and shrubs: 3, 8, 15–16, 26
●No pest control: 2, 9, 20-21, 25
●Cooking firewood, felling trees: 2–3, 26, 29–20
●Chopping wood is not allowed: 4-6

The main work in the garden, garden in September

September work in the garden

If you have a large area allotted for potatoes, then after harvesting early varieties in August, you need to continue digging up tubers of medium early, mid-ripening and medium late potato varieties. In those areas where it is possible to grow late potato varieties, also start harvesting it. Previously, a week or ten days before that, you need to mow or cut the tops and remove them from the site. If possible, dry and burn it. The resulting ash can be applied to plants that continue the growing season - fruit trees and berry or ornamental shrubs.

Before harvesting, you need to once again inspect the storage and cellars, remove garbage there, dry and disinfect, if you did not have time to do this in August.

Continue harvesting and processing cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers in greenhouses. If the plants there have finished their growing season, you can sow early greens, lettuce, and radishes on the beds. But in reliable polycarbonate greenhouses, it is quite possible to grow cucumbers and tomatoes until October, especially if you managed to plant new cucumber seedlings on the beds in mid-June for a second crop wave.

To prepare various saltworts and other winter supplies, early September can be cut off early cabbage, and in the beds where late, pickling varieties are planted, you need to loosen the soil, feed the plants and water if the weather is dry.

In vegetable beds, in the event of approaching frosts, you must first harvest beets and carrots. If there is no threat of cold weather, root crops can be left there until the middle of the month or even until the end of the second decade. Also, do not delay harvesting turnips, radishes, daikon.

Remove the grown pumpkins and the last zucchini and squash.

On a bed with leeks, you can carry out the planting to increase the size of the bleached leg. If necessary, thin out the plantings.

At the end of September, you need to prepare the beds for planting winter garlic. If you are a supporter of the early planting of this crop, then in September you need to plant garlic cloves deep enough - up to 12 cm, so that in the case of a warm autumn they do not germinate to the surface, but only form reliable roots in the soil.

If you practice winter sowing of onions, carrots, radishes, green crops, prepare beds for them, fill the soil with fertilizers, cut grooves, prepare compost to cover crops.

On the beds vacated in the first half of September, it is possible to sow green manure - rye, white mustard - to improve the soil and as a green fertilizer.

If the weather allows, harvesting of late cabbage can be postponed to October, if not, you need to cut heads of cabbage at the end of September.

Carry out all work by referring to the lunar calendar of the gardener.

September garden work

In early September, continue harvesting apples. First of all, harvest the fruits of summer and autumn varieties, and in the second half of the month - winter varieties. They need to be put into storage, during which the ripening of these apples will continue.

In early September, harvest plums. All fallen fruits, both under plums and under apple trees, especially rotten ones, must be buried outside the site. As it matures, also harvest sea buckthorn and chokeberry (chokeberry).

Loosen the soil around the berry bushes, remove weeds there and mulch with rotted manure, feed the plants with potash fertilizers.

On plantings of remontant raspberries, cut off all shoots, and on plantings of common raspberry, cut off shoots that have fruited and are weak or diseased. Feed the plants with potash fertilizers.

At the very beginning of September, if you didn’t have time to do this in August, plant strong young strawberry bushes on a prepared garden bed, fertilize all the plantings of this berry crop with fertilizers, add compost to the bare bushes.

Carry out sanitary and formative pruning of fruit trees and shrubs: cut off dry and broken branches, as well as branches growing inside the crown and vertically upwards, tops.

Cut out the young growth formed near the cherries and plums. The strongest specimens can be carefully dug up and used for reproduction.

In September, currant bushes, gooseberries, and raspberries grown from layering or bought in nurseries can be planted in a permanent place. Fruit trees are best planted in the garden in spring. If you bought seedlings of apple or pear trees, dig them in until spring.

If autumn is dry, you need to carry out abundant water-charging watering of all fruit and berry crops in the garden.

Introducing 2019 for every day. Daily lunar calendar for gardeners, florists and gardeners. The lunar calendar of sowing and planting contains a detailed description of gardening work for every day.

About the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day of the year

The daily lunar calendar of sowing and planting contains a list of work for every day in the garden, flower garden and vegetable garden. The lunar calendar is compiled for those who are passionate about gardening, floriculture, and horticulture. In the calendar, the days of sowing and planting of various crops are recommended based on the lunar phases and the passage of the zodiac constellation by the Moon, as well as agricultural terms.

The lunar calendar gives recommendations on what seeds to sow favorably, what plants to plant, how best to care for plants under the influence of the moon. The fertile zodiac signs Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio favor sowing, planting, and a bountiful harvest. On the days of the infertile signs Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, you can sow and plant certain types of plants, mostly decorative. Under a favorable sign of the zodiac, root crops are planted and sown on the waning Moon, and other vegetable crops, berry and fruit, ornamental plants are planted and sown on the growing Moon. On the full moon and new moon, the lunar calendar does not recommend sowing and planting, these days they are struggling with plant diseases and pests.

Also in the lunar calendar, for each day, the necessary daily work in the garden and garden is listed, the result of which the Moon does not affect, these works are determined by the agrarian terms of the area and the weather. In the lunar sowing calendar for these works, we recommend days free from sowing and planting work.

The lunar calendar shows the dates of sowing and planting of many plants. These are fruit and ornamental trees, berry and ornamental shrubs, annual and perennial flower and berry crops. Our lunar calendar tells about the favorable sowing and planting dates for almost all vegetable crops bred in the Middle lane, with different growing methods: planting, forcing, sowing, through seedlings, including in a greenhouse, on a windowsill and in open ground.

The lunar calendar of sowing and planting for each day contains astronomical information indicating the exact time of the moon's entry into each sign of the zodiac, the hours of the full moon and new moon, the time of sunrise and sunset, the time of sunrise and sunset and the length of the daylight hours. If the Moon enters some sign of the zodiac during the day, then in the lunar calendar in the column of recommendations for sowing and planting, a note is given before the specified hour sowing, planting and caring for plants according to the recommendations of the previous day of the lunar calendar.

In addition, in the lunar calendar of sowing and planting, for each day, folk signs are given on the moon and signs for the harvest from the folk agricultural calendar.

Astronomical information about the Sun in our calendar

If you observe the position of the Sun long enough, for example, during the year, you will notice that its height above the horizon on different days will not be the same - the largest is on June 21-22, and the smallest is on December 21-22. In different years, these events fall on different days. These days are called the summer and winter solstices. Twice a year, March 20-21 and September 22-23, the Sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west. These days it is under and above the horizon at the same time (that is, the day is equal to the night), and therefore they are called the days of the spring and autumn equinoxes. Between March 21 and September 22, the Sun rises north of the east point and, conversely, between September 23 and March 21, south of it.

Traditionally, March 21, June 22, September 23 and December 22 are considered the beginning of the seasons in the northern hemisphere of the Earth: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

We publish information on which days the listed astronomical events fall this year in the daily lunar calendar, which is given above.

How to grow plants in the rhythm of the moon phases

The very topic of the influence on the growth and development of plants of the position of the planets in the zodiac circle, in particular the closest satellite of our planet - the Moon, the interaction of the phases of the Moon and growth, plant development, and the activity of microbiological processes in the soil is interesting.

The influence of the Moon on earthly affairs has been known since ancient times. It is with this planet that the tidal and ebb phenomena of oceanic and sea waters are associated, as well as fluctuations in electromagnetic fields that affect the weather. It is believed that during the full moon, the above-ground parts of plants are filled with juice to a greater extent, and at the new moon, it seems to tend to recede to the roots. In the first case, there is a stronger hydration of the tissues, in the second - some dryness. From here, studies of the influence of the moon on plants take place, and on the basis of the knowledge gained, a lunar calendar is compiled for each day of the current year.

Plants are influenced not only by the phases of the moon, but also by its position in the signs of the zodiac. It is better to plant when our companion is in the constellations of Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. Fight weeds when she is in the signs of Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius. The presence of the Moon in the constellation Aries encourages the collection of fruits - they are better stored. Moving to the constellation of Libra is favorable for watering and vaccinations, to the constellation of Leo - for mowing and weeding, Sagittarius - for digging up root crops, Aquarius - for destroying pests.

According to the experience of astrological observations, the zodiac signs are divided into productive (fertile): Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, and unproductive (infertile): Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Aquarius. Planting and sowing fruit and ornamental plants according to the lunar calendar is best done when the Moon is in a productive zodiac sign.

How is the lunar calendar of sowing and planting for every day

From the angle of practical consideration, the recommendations of the lunar calendar will be consistent if they correspond to the local calendar dates for sowing and planting crops. Due to the dissimilarity of climatic conditions, landscape, soil in different areas, it is impossible to develop a single lunar calendar. If we calculate the timing of sowing crops in another specific area, then we will get significant dissimilarity. In one case, these will be belated dates, in the other - too early (compare the south of Russia and the Urals). Agricultural work, as well as care and cleaning work, are also associated with the length of daylight hours.

The local folk calendar, traditional experience, accumulated knowledge are the main support in the practical activities of the gardener, florist and gardener. For neighboring regions, any lunar calendar needs to be amended regarding the deadlines for sowing and planting, taking into account the conditions of a particular area. Data on the exact time of the Moon's entry into the zodiac constellation can be obtained from the calendar (tear-off calendar) for gardeners and gardeners or the astrological calendar.

The weather also does not fall year on year - there are early and late springs, which is also taken into account when compiling the lunar calendar.

The dates of the passage of the phases of the moon do not coincide by year. In almost a month, the Moon passes through 12 constellations, called the signs of the Zodiac. The following year, the lunar calendar is shifted by 10 days. The dates of the passage of the phases of the moon are repeated after 19 years. Every year, the daily sowing and planting calendar is amended for the specific shape of the season and for the lunar phase.

The first month of autumn is the time for harvesting fruits and root crops, which were reverently erected by the gardener throughout the entire garden season. However, harvesting is not the only task of the garden owner, at this time there is a lot of work to prepare the land and everything that grows for the coming winter.

In order for the work to bring maximum benefit, you should trust the lunar calendar, which suggests the most favorable days for gardening. The lunar sowing calendar for September 2018 contains recommendations on the timing and dates on which to harvest, plant, trim trees, shrubs, care for flowers and other gardening activities.

The first month of autumn is one of the most laborious in the season, as the gardener needs not only to harvest, but also to carry out a large amount of work to maintain the site in a fertile state.

Landings

September is a favorable month for planting seedlings before winter. Crops such as radishes, parsley, dill in relatively warm soil will have time to take root, but will not have time to sprout. It is recommended to plant garlic in the first half of the month, before winter the seedlings will develop the root system, without giving shoots. Strawberries planted in September will take root well, before the first frosts the bushes will get stronger and acquire flower buds, which will ensure the harvest of the next season.

It is also worth paying attention to flowers, they need to be transplanted to a place of constant growth. At the end of the month, bulbs of dahlias, gladioli must be dug up, dried thoroughly and sent for winter storage.

Interesting.

Shrubs also take root well if planted in the first month of autumn. Properly planted raspberries, gooseberries and currants will strengthen before the cold weather, develop the root system, because of this, by the beginning of the next season, the bushes will wake up early, and will also begin to bear fruit in the first season after transplantation.
